Corpus Christi Air balloon ridesAir balloon rides are very popular in Corpus Christi, and you could delight in this fun activity when the weather is good. Even though some people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this marvellous experience forever!Air balloon rides can be had by all ages. Most flights last roughly an hour, but check with your pilot to find out your options. Many have several packages to choose from.
Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day? Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.
As you look for Air balloon rides in Corpus Christi, keep in mind that your ride might be rescheduled if conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more photos than you expect.

Balloons are aircraft, regulated under the same Federal Aviation Regulations as every other category of aircraft. Balloons are aerostats, that is, static within the air. Once the balloon is buoyant, it moves with the air mass in which it floats, no faster, no slower, no different direction. The pilot has altitudinal control, and can alter the balloon's course by finding an air mass going in a slightly different direction.
